Pear Mountain(Lishan) Oolong
Four Seasons Sample Pack
Have you ever wondered what each season of Taiwanese high mountain oolong tastes like? Would you like to understand what people are talking about when they describe the softness of the spring pick, the strength of the fall pick or the crispness of the winter pick? Want to try an extremely rare Pear Mountain Snow Tea, picked just as the frosts of winter put the plants to sleep? Then this sample pack is for you!
We are pleased and excited to offer a one-of-a-kind sample pack of a taste of each of the four seasonal picks of our best selling Pear Mountain Oolong. 25g of the Spring, Fall, Winter and very rare Snow picks from our partner farm located at 2000m above sea level in the famed Lishan growing area of central Taiwan. We never buy the teas of every season from any of our partner farms as the seasons can greatly effect the taste and quality of the finished tea. This farm is the exception. We have never tasted a miss!

$32 for 100 grams of different Lishan seasons was worth it. All of the teas were great quality, and they each had their own distinctions more noticeable than nuanced. The fall harvest was my favorite because it had a spicy cinnamon like edge that the others did not possess as a subtle note. The spring was floral, light, creamy, and immensely sweet like hyacinth and lilies. Like spring, the winter was very soft, but unctous and round in the mouth with green notes amidst more florals. The snow drop was impressive. It started out tasting like sweet corn bread with a clean floral finish, and then became fruitier as it rebrewed. All four teas had different degrees kinds of florals, viscous textures, and stone fruit notes in the layer steeps. I was very impressed with this first order, and cannot recommend it enough for any growing or experienced tea lover.
